He misses bringing them a rubber turkey on Thanksgiving too.

that guy was the biggest. assclown. ever.

wow this thread is gonna be trollific

I just think it's great that Obama promisesd to withdraw the troops...and then....uhhhh....CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!

Bush killed far more Americans than bin Laden.

/ Not to mention tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis

FTA: "I was a little concerned that our veterans don't think that I still respect them and care for them a lot," Bush told the AP. He added later, "There's nothing as courageous in my judgment as someone who had a leg blown off in combat overcoming the difficulties."

G0ddamn D1ldo.

I bet he misses how Uncle Dick Cheney would put his hand up W's ass. They would do that routine where Dick would drink water while W talked.

vygramul: When's the last time an American asset released a weapon in Libya?

Do bad actresses count as weapons?

I think what Bush doesn't realize is: (1) they don't respect him; (2) and, no one cares what he "misses".

Is this article supposed to make me forget about Libya, Yemen and Pakistan?

I'm so glad I voted for the candidate who promised to not make the same mistakes with the lives of our service men. I have not experienced a moment of disappointment since then, no sir.

Mugato: Please tell me you're not seriously comparing Libya to Iraq and Afghanistan.

True, Libya only had a few thousand surface-to-air missiles go missing and only some of the rebels are members of Al Qaeda. Too bad Colonel Gaddafi isn't an American citizen, we would have killed him already with a drone strike.

How many American soldiers have died in Libya?

NewportBarGuy: "There's nothing as courageous in my judgment as someone who had a leg blown off in combat overcoming the difficulties."

You know what would have been more courageous? Standing up to the War Hawks who wanted to invade Iraq even before 9/11.

And the question for the president in terms of whether we went on to Baghdad and took additional casualties in an effort to get Saddam Hussein was, "how many additional dead Americans is Saddam worth?" And our judgment was, "not very many", and I agree. (new window)

That would've been courageous, but you just didn't have the balls to say no.

I'm no Bush fan by any means BUT I do genuinely believe that based on the information that was given to him (concocted or otherwise) he truly believe that Saddam had WMDs.

What I do fault him on though is after it has been proven false, he should've gone back and at least persecuted those guys IF indeed they manufactured the data or made up or exaggerated some information to support their claims but that would've opened up a GIANT can of worms .

Good, good. Let the butthurt flow through you.

I wonder If he's found any Evil Doers that he can be The Decider on in Texas....

We're still in two wars Bush started. That present enough for ya? Obama's got some catching up to do in the starting needless wars department, methinks.

Abe Lincoln killed the most Americans than anybody....


/relative comparisons are fun!

vygramul: Generation_D: In a just society, Cheney would have been prosecuted by now, and Bush would possibly be held accountable as well. The fact that both received more or less heroes send-offs for some of the greatest war crimes in the past 100 years says a ton about America today.

As someone who is studying genocide, I find it laughable that you consider those actions - as criminal and terrible as they were - anywhere near the list of "greatest war crimes" in the past 100 years. Not even the same ball-park, hell, it's not even the same sport.



Shhh, you're harshing their "Bu$H is teh sum totality of eveyrthing ebil" buzzz.

Get that perspective to another thread (but nothing 5 tabs to the right, it's not wanted there either).

Drummer: I think what Bush doesn't realize is: (1) they don't respect him; (2) and, no one cares what he "misses".

Say what you will about his policy and so on, every Soldier I spoke to while I was in that interacted with him (which is a reasonably long list in the area of communications I worked in) said he was a great person to sit down and have a conversation with. Not many people agreed with his actions as a Politician, but as a person Soldiers said he was good to talk to.

/former Soldier

So much Bush hate, and yet he somehow got elected twice.

Point is, I'm not saying Bush was the greatest president ever, or that I agreed with everything he did, but the fact that people are still angry just goes to show that they can't let go of past events (even if the past is affecting the present.)

Just let it go, Bush's time is over, you won't see any of his people tried for human rights violations or destroying the economy.

Let it go.
Let it go...

Hey. subby, that's just not fair. You left out the gift baskets..

SuperNinjaToad: I'm no Bush fan by any means BUT I do genuinely believe that based on the information that was given to him (concocted or otherwise) he truly believe that Saddam had WMDs.

So did a large number of Democrats in Congress and a former Democrat(ic) President whose wife voted to attack Iraq.

These are the same idiots who complain about the war costing $1.2 trillion, when the fact is that trillion spread out over what is almost a decade and doesn't even come close to our yearly GDP.

I'm not defending them, but they were nowhere near the greatest war crimes of the last century. The 20th century was a real motherfarker, you know. Also, Kissinger, Nixon, Cambodia, etc.

From wiki:
The last U.S. combat brigades departed Iraq in the early morning of August 19, 2010. Convoys of U.S. troops had been moving out of Iraq to Kuwait for several days, and NBC News broadcast live from Iraq as the last convoy crossed the border. While all combat brigades left the country, an additional 50,000 personnel remained in the country to provide support for the Iraqi military.[286][287]

Lane83:

That's what Shrub did in Afghanistan and Iraq, right?



/ not a Shrub defender

You know, if any one of us made a poor decision that got even one person killed, we would be 1) in jail and/or 2) bankrupted after civil litigation by the survivors.

These are not our leaders. They are our employees. Time to start treating them as such.

Just trollin. I want to punch myself in the face for posting the above.

Something tells me all that time spent finding pictures to post pointlessly in threads has severely hindered your ability to keep up with what exactly is going on in Libya.

I do wonder if you've had the opportunity to complain that Obama was dithering or giving NATO too much power, though...

And Democrat presidents are responsible for WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam.
